Default Hot start probs and blowing white smoke

You may remember that a few weeks ago I had these symptoms and concluded that the head gasket was fooked. Well, I've replaced the head and started her this morning for the 1st time since finishing fitting the new head and I still have the same problems despite having no coolant in there. (I just wanted to check it would start before I filled up with coolant). The smoke bellows out and is pure white.

Your thoughts please?

I recently renewed the air flow meter, should I bleed the injectors through as per a diesel motor?

Could the warm up regulator be at fault?
